C— Julian Kantor, 22, of San Francisco, organizes a bin of legos in the library at Dolores Huerta Elementary School during an internship through AccessSFUSD The Arc on Monday, June 1, 2026. The community-based placement is designed to help students with cognitive disabilities gain workplace experience before aging out of the public school system at age 22. For Julian, the internship is one of many spaces where he is seen not as a diagnosis, but as a coworker, volunteer and member of the community. “He’s always being himself,” said Drake Lenard, 21, of San Francisco, a longtime friend who has known Julian since childhood. “People shouldn’t have to worry about that, because that’s a part of them.”
